Abstract
A crankcase seal and ventilation arrangement for an outboard motor that permits ventilating air to flow from the crankcase chamber into an induction system of the engine for air purification. In addition, the arrangement is such that oil, which may flow into the ventilating air chamber when the outboard motor is tilted up, can return to the crankcase chamber when the outboard motor is returned to its normal running condition.
